The old tower is now coming down. The very top section was already gone by the time I got there.

The first section to be stored in the temporary location until removed by a different group. Notice that the top red section is missing. It was used as support for the rope trolley line, i.e., because of its weight, a pulley was attached to it and placed in a location that would result in the trolley line being able to pull sections away from the tower as they are removed. You can see that in later images.

The last section before they have to move the tower support brace.
